▼ This thesis continues the study of interval orders and related structures, containing results on both the labeled and unlabeled variants. Following a result of Eriksen and Sjöstrand (2014) we identify a link between structures following the Fishburn distribution and Mahonian structures. This is used to detail a technique for the construction of Fishburn structures (structures in bijection with unlabeled interval orders) from appropriate Mahonian structures. This technique is introduced on a bivincular pattern of Bousquet-Mélou et al. (2010) and then used to introduce a previously unconsidered class of matchings; explicitly, zero alignment matchings according to the number of arcs which are both right-crossed and left-nesting. The technique is then used to identify a statistic on the factorial posets of Claesson and Linusson (2011) following the Fishburn distribution. Factorial posets mapped to zero by this statistic are canonically labeled factorial posets which may alternatively be viewed as unlabeled interval orders. As a consequence of our approach we find an identity for the Fishburn numbers in terms of the Mahonian numbers and discuss linear combinations of Fishburn patterns in a manner similar to that of the Mahonian combinations of Babson and Steingrímsson (2001). To study labeled interval orders we introduce ballot matrices, a signed combinatorial structure whose definition naturally follows from the generating function for labeled interval orders. A sign reversing involution on ballot matrices is defined. Adapting a bijection of Dukes, Jelínek and Kibitzke (2011), we show that matrices fixed under this involution are in bijection with labeled interval orders and that they decompose to a pair consisting of a permutation and an inversion table. To fully classify such pairs results pertaining to the enumeration of permutations having a given set of ascent bottoms are given. This allows for a new formula for the number of labeled interval orders.

▼ Nurse teachers work and learn in a complex socio-cultural landscape shaped by clinical practice and higher education as first and second order fields of practice. As a recognised specialism of nursing, nurse teacher preparation forms a crucial phase in nurse teacher development leading to professional recognition with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. However, the influence of such preparation in shaping the professional identity of nurse teachers is indistinct within the research landscape while the experience of nurses who are situated in clinical practice whilst undertaking nurse teacher preparation is under-represented. This research is positioned within socio-cultural and interpretivist frames and seeks to critically explore the personal, learning and professional contexts which shape the professional identity of newly qualified nurse teachers during and on completion of nurse teacher preparation. Drawing on a purposive sample of six newly qualified nurse teachers and five experienced nurse teachers, the multiple embedded case study adopts individual and focus group interviews and portfolio documents to elucidate perspectives on professional identity. The findings from cross case synthesis reveal professional identity to be a relational phenomenon shaped through mutual constitution of self and the nurse teacher landscape. Personal, learning and professional contexts distinguish this landscape from which eight contextual strands emerge as shaping the professional identity of NQNTs. Essentially, these strands connect the personal and professional in learning to teach. Conclusions from the study findings highlight areas for future research and recommendations for professional practice.

▼ Optical microscopy has long been an established tool in the biomedical sciences, being the preferred choice in the study of single cells and tissue sections. The realisation of the confocal laser scanning microscope in the 1980s led to major advances in the way optical microscopy is implemented, paving the way for the use of interference techniques such as 4Pi microscopy to increase the optical resolution, and for nonlinear microscopy techniques such as two-photon microscopy, which allows deeper penetration and the imaging of live specimens as a consequence of reduced photo-bleaching, and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy, which produces high-contrast images without the need for fluorescent staining. In this work, I discuss advances in nonlinear and interference techniques available for biomedical imaging. I present a simultaneous near-field and far-field viewer for use in aligning the input beams in a CARS microscope and in a sum-frequency-generation- based two-photon microscope. I show 3D optical sectioning of whole mouse embryos using the Mesolens, a giant microscope objective capable of subcellular resolution in a 5 mm field of view, and present theoretical calculations on its use for two-photon microscopy. I present fast recording of synaptic events in neurones, with reduced photo-bleaching, using widefield two-photon microscopy. Finally, I show multiple super-resolved sections are obtained using a laser scanning standing wave microscope, generating precise contour maps of the surface membrane of red blood cells and revealing 3D information from a single image.

▼ Designing a structure which harnesses energy from the wind offshore is a radically different design challenge compared to that which the industry standard three-blade Danish model horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) has evolved to serve. Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) may prove to be suitable candidates for the offshore sector due to the potential to locate heavy and complex mechanical components near the water surface providing ease of access and a low centre of gravity. Unlike their horizontal-axis counterparts, VAWT designs have not benefited from forty years of intense research and development. Therefore many challenges lie ahead for VAWT technology but lessons can be drawn from the development of HAWT technology. The main aims of this thesis are to create a design tool capable of investigating the performance of large scale, variable pitch VAWTs and to provide analyses of rotor design and control systems that would align utility scale VAWTs with aerodynamic performance and operational flexibility of state of the art HAWTs. The design tool developed is based on the double multiple streamtube (DMS) adaptation of blade element momentum theory and it incorporates tip loss effects, flow curvature, dynamic stall, flow expansion and variable pitch. Validation demonstrates good estimation of local wind flow conditions and aerodynamic performance for both fixed pitch and variable pitch rotors. The model has been developed to investigate in particular V-rotor performance and the potential of variable pitch for VAWTs. A contribution is made to DMS modelling, which involves capturing the effects of varying degrees of streamtube expansion occurring along the blade. This contribution is referred to as fanning and is particularly significant when implementing or designing pitch regimes. Three novel investigations are provided that contribute to fixed pitch VAWT rotor design and control. Firstly, a method for applying lift to drag ratio to VAWTs is introduced, which accounts for azimuthal variation in aerodynamic performance. Secondly, the impact of wind shear on V-rotor rotor design is analysed. Thirdly, a solution for smoothing power fluctuations from aggregated VAWTs is proposed, which is based on controlling the phase of each rotor so peaks in individual generated power do not occur simultaneously. A holistic approach to the way in which cyclic variable pitch can benefit VAWT operation is provided. Five control objectives are identified that span the entire operating envelope for any wind turbine, namely providing high torque during start-up, maximising power coefficient in below rated conditions, alleviating cyclic loading, power limiting in above rated conditions and aerodynamic braking in extremely high winds. Two test case turbines are designed, a similarly rated H-rotor and V-rotor, and for each turbine and each objective, a cyclic pitch regime is developed and analysed.

▼ Due to concerns about the impacts of carbon emissions on the environment, the security of supply of electricity and the likelihood of achieving "peak-oil" in the near future, governments have legislated to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. An attractive alternative is power obtained from tidal currents, and the coast of the British Isles is especially hydraulically active. Tidal energy converters typically resemble wind turbines however, unlike wind turbines, they are expected to operate in an environment which is singularly hostile, and will also be expected to generate power in non-ideal operating conditions. This thesis is concerned with the ability to model individual and groups of tidal devices including their mutual interactions. The ability to capture unsteady inflow conditions at realistic array spacing requires preservation of turbine wakes over a sufficiently large range at spatial resolutions and over time durations which are not feasible using standard computational fluid dynamics software. This thesis has combined methodologies developed for helicopter wake modelling with techniques used in naval architecture for modelling thick maritime propellers into a computational tool. The particular formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations employed allows the determination of the unsteady pressure and force distributions on a turbine rotor due to the effects of a neighbouring device, even if it is operating some significant distance upstream. The constituents of the method of this thesis are developed and applied to "proof-of-principle" studies. These include flow past static and oscillating 2-D aerofoils and past a 3-D wing, wind turbine and tidal turbine configuration. The results from these studies demonstrate that the model is convergent and capable of capturing the time dependant forces on these devices, and by comparison with analytical or experimental results, or via inter-model comparison begins the process of calibration and validation of the model. The method is then applied to flow past groups of turbines in various array configurations, and a coaxial, contra-rotating device. The outcome of this work is a decision making tool which can be used to improve success and reduce risk in tidal power array planning, optimise device configurations and is translatable back into rotorcraft or naval architecture usage.

▼ In this thesis a Finite Element solver package called FEDomain is developed for C++ finite element software developers. It is focused on solving the Finite Element problem on shared memory as well as distributed memory architectures. The FEDomain package segregates the finite element software into two phases. The first phase includes defining the finite element problem. The user selects the mathematical problem, domain shape, domain dimensions, triangulation of the domain and formulations to compute elements' data. The second phase comprises assembly of system of equations and computing its solution. The FEDomain package concentrates on the second phase. It facilitates the user by providing the efficient implementation of the second stage using parallel algorithms. This design allows the C++ finite element application developers, with no knowledge and experience of parallel computing, to implement parallel finite element application for shared and distributed memory architectures. More specifically, FEDomain package is focused on introducing a new type of user interface. The interface requires the user to provide the mathematical problem and domain related data in terms of C++ element objects. The FEDomain assembles the system of equations, computes its solution, and provides it back to the user through element objects. The FEDomain package computes the residual vector and solution for the system of equations on shared memory and distributed memory architectures.

(more)
▼ In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, wide RC beams are used as primary structural members to support floor loads and to transfer forces from the floor to the vertical elements which are below them, e.g. columns and walls. In these cases, wide concrete beams may be loaded and supported by wide columns or walls (full-width loads and supports) and/or by narrow columns (partial-width loads and supports). In both cases of support and load conditions, the one-way (beam) and two-way (punching) shear capacities should be checked for wide RC members. For both wide and narrow load/support configurations, the provisions of current design Codes require that one-way shear capacity is assessed for a cross-section involving the full width of the beam, and the contribution of shear strength resisted by stirrups is assessed according to the longitudinal stirrup-legs spacing where the transverse stirrup-legs spacing is neglected. Moreover, the current design Codes neglect the load and support widt hs to predict the flexural strength. The main concern is whether the requirements of current design Codes may lead to poor predictions of flexural and shear strengths of wide concrete beams, especially for narrow-supported wide beams, because they ignore the support width, load width, longitudinal and transverse spacing of stirrup-legs. The objective of this study is to develop new Prediction, Detailing and Design Models for wide reinforced concrete beams to be used in Practice. The results of 26 tests on wide RC beam specimens are reported in this study. The models were developed to account for the missed parameters mentioned above which showed an actual influence on the flexural and shear strengths of wide RC beams with full- and narrow- width loads and supports (wide- and narrow- supported wide RC beams). They take into the consideration the load- and support- widths (or at best, the ratios of load- and support- width to the beam-width). Comprehensive verifications and evaluations of the proposed models were conducted for comparing them with the existing design Codes and other proposed models. It is shown that the proposed models perform the best among the existing Codes and models. It is shown that the flexural and shear strengths decrease as the ratio of the load- and/or support- width to the beam-width decreases, while the shear strength resisted by stirrups contribution decreases as the transverse stirrup legs spacing increases. These influences occur for members with and without shear reinforcement. Based on the proposed design model, the longitudinal and transversal stirrup legs spacing are reduced as the ratio of the load- and/or support- width to the beam-width decreases, and then this will enhance to increase the shear strength; therefore, the failure mode will change from brittle to ductile manner. These influences occur for members with shear-reinforcement. For the members without shear-reinforcement, the proposed detailing approach will enhance t he flexural reinforcements (tensile and compressive bars) when they are…

▼ The research presented in this thesis investigates scenarios to preserve scarce radioactive waste disposal capacity of current and future UK repositories. Simplified life cycle assessment (LCA) and cost estimates are used to evaluate end-of-life options for UK radioactive metals and depleted uranium. The thesis builds on the work of previous authors by considering a wider range of potential environmental impacts and by focussing in more detail on the processes inherent in waste management and decommissioning to support future decision making. Credible disposal and treatment scenarios are developed for LCA of UK radioactive metals - initially as a hypothetical case study - then applying the research method to the entire UK radioactive metals inventory. These scenarios identify key processes for the decontamination and melting of radioactive metals for recycling in open markets or for products to re-use in the nuclear industry. The thesis uses the experience gained from investigating the UK metals inventory to explore limiting scenarios for the disposal of the UK‘s depleted uranium, assuming that it is classified as a future waste. The metals inventory research confirms that disposal and 'single-use' steel waste container impacts dominate the overall environmental impacts and financial costs - the impacts and costs of low level waste transport are negligible. Significant reductions in impacts and costs can be achieved by treating UK radioactive metals for recycling and re-use. The depleted uranium research indicates that the proposed current baseline for disposal is not optimal - impacts are dominated by disposal volume and other packaging options offer significant volume reduction - the environmental impacts and costs of packaging depleted uranium for the long-term storage are negligible. The thesis offers recommendations for industry and for future research for number of possible longer-term management options for UK radioactive metals and depleted uranium.

▼ In the search for new, safe and efficacious uterine active agents, the plant Ficus exasperata was subjected to phytochemical screening and pharmacological analysis. Ethyl acetate and methanolic leaf extracts of F. exasperata were fractionated and purified by a series of chromatographic techniques. The isolation process was guided by in vitro functional uterine assays involving the use of C57Bl/6 female mice. Identification of the active chemical constituents was performed by several spectroscopic techniques which included 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The uterine effects of these compounds were investigated on lidocaine-induced, spontaneous, oxytocin-induced and high KCl-induced contractions using isolated uterine segments of non-pregnant female mice. The activity of different compounds on the amplitude (maximum tension above basal force) and frequency of uterine contractions were simultaneously measured and then statistically analysed. The structure-activity relationships were also examined where possible. These studies led to the identification of some new phytochemical derivatives. Pharmacological assays revealed the presence of both uterine stimulatory and inhibitory constituents. The new pheophytin/pheophorbide derivatives, flavonoids, fatty acids and glycerol derivatives significantly reduced the frequency and amplitude of uterine contraction, while KCl salt, pyrimidine and pheophorbide-b derivatives significantly augmented both spontaneous and agonist-induced contractions. This study has demonstrated that F. exasperata generates secondary metabolites which have proven effective in the significant inhibition of uterine contractions and thus a potential source of new tocolytic agents. Additionally, uterine stimulatory constituents were also generated some of which may be potential drugs for contraception and/or labour facilitation. Lead compounds generated from this study are the pheophytin/pheophorbide derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives and flavonoid derivatives. The rather low yield of compounds frequently experienced in the course of bioassay-guided phytochemical screening has made it almost impossible to investigate the possible mechanism(s) of action of active fractions and/or compounds. This necessitated study into the development of high throughput analytical tools combining metabolomics and pharmacology in the investigation of the function of drugs. This study involved the application of liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry (LC-HRFTMS) and proton NMR (1H-NMR) as analytical platforms in the determination of myometrial function. An initial study was performed to determine the success of the method and this was achieved by assessment of mouse myometrial metabolites altered in response to oxytocin and ritodrine. The myometrial tissues and bath fluids were extracted at the peak of activity and subjected to LC-HRFTMS analysis. The use of the bath fluids in this study was an innovative approach in…

▼ The biosynthesis of anthocyanin compounds involves type III polyketide synthases (PKSs): chalcone synthase (CHS), which is the first enzyme of the flavonoid synthetic pathways leading to synthesis of various anthocyanins. The European red raspberries are a commercially important fruit that needed both for fresh fruit consuming and food manufacturing. The fruits are a valuable source of nutraceuticals, notably anti-oxidants by anthocyanins that are pigments conferring impressive red colour to the fruits. To improve the quality in red raspberry through increasing anthocyanin content, the main objective was focused on investigation of the PKS genes that are an essential for the biosynthesis of anthocyanins. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the PKS/CHS gene regions within the three Bacterial Artificial Chromosome clones (BACs), which originated from the genome of the European red raspberries (Rubus idaeus) cv. Glen Moy (SCRI), using 454 sequencing technology assisted by a systematic construction of fosmid libraries. The two BACs (29M05 and 24B12) always presented similarities in almost analyses resulting from the presence of a 53 kb overlap that was revealed by assemblies of resulting 454 sequencing as it may be possible that there is no PKS/CHS gene in another one, BAC31B12. The assembly of BAC24P12 was completed, with an entire DNA length of 117 kb but BAC29M05 could not be completed along all its length of ~170 kb as the longest contig was 96 Kb provided the most important information of this BAC whilst containing a complete PKS1 gene sequence, currently identified as Naringenin chalcone-PKS. The alignments of assembled sequences also strengthened the similarities between these two BACs both at nucleotide and amino acid sequences. All four PKS/CHS gene regions found in the both BACs presented being multiple PKS/CHS gene family with conservation of an intron and two exons of gene structure as variations of those sequence confirmed being PKS/CHS pseudogenes in plant genome. The two informative sources generated in this thesis, including the fosmid sub-libraries, which are availably manageable sources for validating the BAC sequences, and physical map drafts provided better information of this chromosomal segment in this thesis, as they will be useful available tools for further studying in red raspberry genome.

▼ This thesis is concerned with the problem of broadband angle of arrival (AoA) estimation for sensor arrays. There is a rich theory of narrowband solutions to the AoA problem, which typically involves the covariance matrix of the received data and matrix factorisations such as the eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) to reach optimality in various senses. For broadband arrays, such as found in sonar, acoustics or other applications where signals do not fulfil the narrowband assumption, working with phase shifts between different signals - as sufficient in the narrowband case - does not suffice and explicit lags need to be taken into account. The required space-time covariance matrix of the data now has a lag dimension, and classical solutions such as those based on the EVD are no longer directly applicable. There are a number of existing broadband AoA techniques, which are reviewed in this thesis. These include independent frequency bin processors, where the broadband problem is split into several narrowband ones, thus loosing coherence across bins. Coherent signal subspace methods effectively apply a pre-steering by focussing matrices in the assumed directions of existing sources, and sum the narrowband covariance matrices coherently. Subsequently, classical narrowband methods can be applied. A recent auto-focussing approach dispenses with the requirement of knowing the approximate direction of sources, and calculates the focussing matrices on a data-dependent fashion. A recent parametric covariance matrix approach for broadband AoA estimation is also reviewed, and it is shown that this can only detect a single - the strongest - source. Based on a polynomial EVD (PEVD) factorisation of polynomial matrices such as created by a space-time covariance matrix emerging from a broadband problem, this thesis proposes an extension of the powerful high-resolution but narrowband multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. While narrowband MUSIC is based on an EVD to identify signal and noise subspaces, the PEVD can extract polynomial subspaces. This also requires the definition of broadband steering vectors, which are used in the proposed polynomial MUSIC (P-MUSIC) method to scan the noise-only subspace. Two different P-MUSIC versions are proposed here: a spatio-spectral P-MUSIC (SSP-MUSIC) is capable to resolve sources with respect to the AoA and frequency range, and a spatial P-MUSIC (SP-MUSIC) extracts the AoA alone. Broadband steering vectors are proposed as polynomial vectors containing fractional delay filters. For the implementation, a number of methods are reviewed and compared, including windowed sinc functions and Farrow structures. All these techniques show degraded performance as the frequency approaches half of the sampling rate. Therefore, this dissertation also proposes a highly accurate fractional delay filter implementation based on undecimated filter banks, whereby the subband signals are modulated to lower frequency ranges, where individual fractional delay filters can operate with high accuracy. For the…

▼ This thesis examines metal nanoparticle/agarose (MNPA) gel composites and highly ordered metal nanorod arrays, fabricated by guided nucleation during oblique angle deposition (OAD), as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The effectiveness of MNPA has been effectively demonstrated previously using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), but it is poorly understood how different NP growth conditions affect the SERS response. SERS intensity of gold and silver NPA is examined in detail as a function of salt and (by default) reducing solution concentration, and the effect of using different reductants is also investigated; reproducibility of selected gels is carefully explored. In addition, SERS of highly ordered Ag and copper (Cu) nanoarrays is examined in depth. Normally, OAD generates a random nanorod distribution on flat supports, where nucleation is a random process. This however hinders the control of geometrical parameters such as rod separation and diameter which directly affect the SERS response, an effect mitigated by introducing a guiding element to influence nucleation. Until recently, only semiordered SERS-active Ag nanorod arrays had been accomplished by OAD. These however depended on time-consuming and expensive electron beam lithography (EBL) to write a template to guide nucleation and the subsequent growth of nanorods. Importantly, lengthy fabrication times force a practical upper size limit on the substrate, meaning it is exceedingly small which drastically reduces its potential for sensing applications. It also severely restricts the number of substrates which can be produced in a given time. This thesis addresses these issues via the construction of highly ordered, SERS-active, large-area Ag and Cu nanorod arrays, using a cheap, large-scale, nanoimprinted polymer template to influence nucleation during the initial stages of OAD. Moreover, OAD is a high throughput method, as it permits the simultaneous fabrication of several substrates during a relatively short deposition cycle.

▼ Amidst on-going initiatives aimed atraising attainment and promoting social inclusion, a key stage identified for improvement in the HMIE report: Improving Scottish Education (2006) is that of primary/secondary transition. Current programmes that can address this issue are A Curriculum for Excellence 3-18 (SEED, 2004) which allows schools curriculum flexibility and the Integrated Community Schools policy (HMIE, 2004) which offers a multi-agency approach to improving achievement, health and well-being for all pupils through collaborative working between cluster schools. International researchers have found that repetition of topics, disregard / distrust of transfer information and failure to build on the work of the primary school (McGee et al., 2003), inappropriate teacher support (Stemler et al., 2006), misinterpretation of pupils' attitudes by school / teacher (Gnaldi et al., 2005), inadequate parental support, difficulties in the family environment (Marjoribanks, 2005; Casanova et al., 2005) and exclusion by peers and student's self-image (de Bruyn, 2005) are possible contributors to post-transitional decline in academic effort. De Bruyn (2005) argues that engagement is a strong predictor of academic achievement and Marjoribanks (2003) hypothesizes that post-transition academic performance has a significant impact on the formation of adolescents' educational aspirations. This thesis seeks to discover perspectives in relation to pupils' attitude, their engagement in learning activities, and the aspirations of learners - pre- and post- transition to secondary school. The thesis also reports on the exploration of expectations - those of learners and stakeholders (parents, school management, teachers and home/school link staff) at this crucial point in an individual's education. Additionally, it explores whether the presence of aspirations before and after transition might relate to the formation of a positive attitude to learning and to providing focus for pupils engaged in the move to secondary school. The thesis compares learners' education and career aspirations with those of their parents. It reveals perceptions of the role of aspirations in influencing Primary 7 learners' and Secondary 1 students' attitude and engagement in learning, from the perspectives of the learners themselves, their parents and educators. The thesis finds that parental involvement and support, and the family work/study ethic are perceived as strong pre- and post-transitional influences on learners' attitude to, and engagement in learning, and on their aspirations for tertiary education and career. Additionally, given the sustained focus on transition within academic research and educational policy, this thesis finds an absence of written policies on transition and inconsistent practices between different schools - within and between clusters.

▼ The research presented in this thesis focuses on the implementation and development of transfer printing as a novel technique for heterogeneous integration of III-nitride based light emitting diodes (LEDs) onto a wide range of substrates, whether flexible or rigid in their nature. The initial steps towards a functioning prototype are described with the successful transfer printing of 2 µm-thick micron-size LEDs. The thin structures were assembled onto mechanically-flexible substrates in a representative 16x16 array format using a modifed dip-pen nano-patterning system. Two different methods of addressing the LEDs were studied by using conductive inks on the LED bonding pads or through the use of metal tracks. Both addressing schemes are compared and studied for reliability. Individual study of the printed array elements showed blue emission centred at 486 nm with a forward-directed optical output power up to 80 µW (355 mW/cm²) when operated at a current density of 20 A/cm². A relatively poor performance was observed with damage to the current spreading metal due to an alkaline wet etch step, needed during processing to yield suspended membranes. This issue was addressed by reversing the order of the major steps needed to fabricate the LEDs, which resulted in signifcantly improved LED performance. The capabilities of the nano-patterning system were demonstrated with successful LED placement as low as 150 nm (±14 nm) between dies. Further optimisation beyond the initial prototypes made use of heat-efficient substrates, namely fused silica and diamond, without the use of intermediary adhesion layers. Through the use of a liquid capillary bond, consistent van der Waals bonding was achieved, despite the curvature of the epitaxial layers that comprise an LED following their release from their native silicon growth substrates. The excellence of diamond as a heat-spreader allowed the printed membrane LEDs to achieve optical power output density of 10W/cm² when operated at a current density of 254 A/cm² - a signifcantly higher operational regime compared to the initial prototypes. To capitalise on the new achieved performance, demonstrations of data transmission and colour conversion are shown.

▼ Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) effecting millions of people worldwide. The pathology of MS is characterised by the demyelination of neurons. Though the root cause of MS remains elusive a combination of genetic, environmental and infectious factors are thought to contribute. IL-33 has previously been shown to be protective (e.g. atherosclerosis), or detrimental (e.g. asthma), in certain disease states. IL-33 and ST2 (IL-33R) are highly expressed within the CNS and have been shown to exacerbate Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis). In-situ staining was used to indicate expression of IL-33 and ST2 in the CNS at different stages of EAE disease. IL-33 remained unchanged throughout the time course of disease. However, ST2 expression was upregulated during cellular infiltration. Within naïve and EAE mice IL-33 and ST2 were both expressed on astrocytes and neurons. In acute and chronic MS tissues IL-33 was highly expressed by neurons and axons. Within the lesions IL-33 was present on damaged axons as well as microglia and ODCs. ST2 displayed a diffuse staining in control and MS tissues, however within the lesion site of acute and chronic MS samples ST2 surrounded damaged axons and was present on several ODCs. The potential for IL-33 to affect myelination was investigated using an in-vitro culture system. IL-33 significantly reduced myelination within rat cultures, however no significant effect was observed within the mouse culture system. The main findings from EAE tissues were corroborated in human MS tissue and the implications this may have on understanding the disease course of MS are discussed.

▼ Complex multi-domain engineering systems, where for example mechanical and thermal (sub)systems are connected to each other in some way, have increasingly become a vital part of our society. An example of such a system is the Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) concept for the marine shipping industry. With this IFEP concept, as opposed to the more conventional marine power system, the power for the ship's propulsion and ship's services is provided by a common power plant. This offers advantages including fuel efficiency and design flexibility. However, due to its system complexity and capital costs, it is important that the overall dynamic behaviour of these systems can be predicted in the early stages of the design. Predicting the overall system behaviour can be obtained by employing an integrated end-to-end model, which combines detailed models of for example the mechanical and electrical (sub)systems. This allows for example ship designers to investigate disturbances and the primary and higher order responses across the system. However, present existing simulation tools do not easily facilitate such employment of a holistic approach. In this thesis the focus is on how advanced modelling and simulation techniques can be used to de-risk the design and in-service of complex IFEP systems. The state-of-the-art modelling and simulation techniques as well as the IFEP application area are considered. An integrated-model of an IFEP vessel was developed under the EPSRC collaborative AMEPS (Advanced Marine Electric Propulsion System) research project, which forms a major part of this thesis. In order to reduce the computational burden, due to a wide variety of time constants in the IFEP system, a multi-rate simulation technique was proposed. It was demonstrated that a reduction in simulation execution time between 10-15 times can be achieved. However it was conceptually argued that multi-rate simulation could introduce errors, which propagates itself across the system thereby provoking potential unrealistic responses from other subsystems. Several case studies were conducted based on this model, which shows that such an integrated end-to-end model may be a valuable decision-support tool for de-risking the design and in-service phases of IFEP vessels. For example, it was demonstrated that a disturbance on the propeller could provoke a saturation of the gas turbine governor. Different power system architectures were proposed for IFEP power systems such as radial and hybrid AC/DC. For this thesis, an initial study was conducted to assess the relationship between the type of power system architecture and the vessel survivability. For this assessment an existing vessel survivability theory was further developed into a quantitative method. It was concluded that based on a comparative short circuit study and the proposed survivability method that the IFEP-hybrid AC/DC architecture offers the best vessel survivability.

▼ Rheological, texture and melting properties of dark chocolates were studied varying particle size distribution (PSD) [D₉₀ (90% finer than this size) of 18, 25, 35 and 50 µm], fat (25, 30 and 35%) and lecithin (0.3 and 0.5%) contents. Fat pre-crystallisation systems during tempering and fat bloom development were also investigated, and influences on product microstructure, texture, appearance (colour and gloss) and melting characteristics elucidated. Flavour volatile release from varying product matrices were characterised and quantified. Rheological, textural and melting properties were examined quantitatively using Haake rheometer, texture analyzer and differential scanning calorimetry respectively; surface colour and gloss with a HunterLab Colorimeter and Gloss meter respectively; microstructures by light, stereoscopic binocular and scanning electron microscopy; and flavour volatiles quantified by GC-MS and GC-Olfactometry. Multivariate regression, correlation and principal component analyses were employed to explore interrelationships among the rheological, textural and melting characteristics. The PSD, fat and lecithin contents significantly affected all rheological and textural parameters, with significant interactions among factors. Increasing particle size reduced all rheological and textural parameters with greatest effects noted with 25% fat and 0.3% lecithin, which reduced with increasing fat and lecithin contents. Statistical analyses revealed that fat exerted the greatest effect on variability in rheological, textural, melting properties and appearance followed by PSD and lecithin. Microstructures revealed wide variations in crystalline network structure and inter-particle interaction strengths related to PSD, fat content and temper regimes. Correlation (r = 0.78-0.99) and regression coefficients (R² = 0.59-0.99) suggested rheological, textural and melting index parameters had inter-relationships predictive of character. Effects of temper regime were noted with varied influences on product character, and hypotheses proposed for mechanisms of bloom development in under-tempered products. Finally, flavour-active volatiles were characterised and their release quantified with data suggesting potential effects of matrix structure and lipophilic-flavour interactions.

▼ A permutation is an ordering of the letters 1, . . . , n. A permutation σ occurs as a pattern in a permutation π if there is a subsequence of π whose letters appear in the same relative order of size as the letters of σ, such a subsequence is called an occurrence. The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. In this thesis we study the behaviour of the Möbius function and topology of the permutation poset. The first major result in this thesis is on the Möbius function of intervals [1,π], such that π = π₁π₂. . . πn has exactly one descent, where a descent occurs at position i if πi > π i+1. We show that the Möbius function of these intervals can be computed as a function of the positions and number of adjacencies, where an adjacency is a pair of letters in consecutive positions with consecutive increasing values. We then alter the definition of adjacencies to be a maximal sequence of letters in consecutive positions with consecutive increasing values. An occurrence is normal if it includes all letters except (possibly) the first one of each of all the adjacencies. We show that the absolute value of the Möbius function of an interval [σ, π] of permutations with a fixed number of descents equals the number of normal occurrences of σ in π. Furthermore, we show that these intervals are shellable, which implies many useful topological properties. Finally, we allow adjacencies to be increasing or decreasing and apply the same definition of normal occurrence. We present a result that shows the Möbius function of any interval of permutations equals the number of normal occurrences plus an extra term. Furthermore, we conjecture that this extra term vanishes for a significant proportion of intervals.

▼ Despite women's progress in the workplace over the last four decades, they remain under-represented in management, occupying only around a third of all management jobs. In addition, there are even fewer women on the higher rungs of the management career ladder, even though some women now do reach the top of organizations. Much of the research that has examined women's under-representation has focused on developing frameworks with which to identify the elements in organizations that constitute barriers to women's progression, so that these in turn can be overcome. Although there has been an acknowledgement of the effect of systemic factors on women's progression in management, there is a lack of a framework with which to analyse them. The aim of this research is to address this gap by synthesising the business systems literature together existing gender based frameworks in order to provide a new and extended approach to the study of women in management. This study was located in three sectors in Scotland, the Labour Movement, Local Government and Financial Services. A total of fifty-three interviews were carried out, comprising thirty-six senior women managers and seventeen background and elite interviews, making a total of fifty-three interviews. The study found that business systems, like organizations exhibit patterns of institutionalised gender discrimination, which constitute that business system's gender inequality regime. The study also found that business systems institutions as well as shaping organizations are also engaged in a co-constitutive process with organizations and actors.

▼ Hybrid DC circuit breaker switching techniques have been proposed for use in multi-terminal HVDC networks, to create an efficient, reliable and controllable system. There are two DC hybrid switching techniques. The first is arc interruption based on current oscillation. The second is interruption without an arc, like with a voltage commutation approach. The main difference is whether or not the interruption mechanism deals with the arc. Interrupting the arc not only causes erosion of the electrode surface, therefore reducing useful lifetime, but also introduces uncertainty to the process of successful interruption. This thesis therefore focuses on determination of the best switching technique for HVDC applications. To highlight the advantages of interruption without an arc, this thesis uses a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) as the main breaker to investigate arc effects on interruption performance, when employing a forced current commutation method. The vacuum arc characteristics are detailed, thereby giving the VCB operation understanding needed. The VCB opening time is reduced from approximately 50ms to 13ms by employing a coil DC activation method. This allows the coil counter-EMF to be observed and utilised to optimally trigger the auxiliary commutation circuit. An active commutation test circuit is proposed, and in simulation and experimentally, the VCB interruption properties are investigated in terms of varied interruption current, di/dt, dvVCB/dt, and gap distance. Experimental results elicit that the key parameters determining arc interruption probability is di/dt, where even if dvVCB/dt is low, successful interruption become impossible if di/dt is above a certain level. By analysing the post-arc current based on its electrical behaviour, the reason why di/dt and dvVCB/dt dominate successful interruption probability is explained. A cascaded commutation circuit is proposed, and its validity is confirmed by simulation and experimentally, showing the interruption probability is improved compared to the test circuit, even with small circuit inductance.

▼ Leishmaniasis is a public health problem and development of a vaccine to prevent infection is required. The overall aim of this study was to develop a vaccine to protect against Leishmania infection using L. donovani, L. mexicana and L. major gamma glutamylcysteine synthetase (γGCS) recombinant proteins. Studies to optimise the expression of L. donovani, L. mexicana and L. major γGCS recombinant proteins showed that induction with 0.1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside produced the highest amounts of recombinant protein, and incubation of bacteria at 18°C after induction increased the amount of soluble protein produced. Recombinant L. mexicana γGCS had significantly higher specific enzyme activity (p <0.001) compared to L. donovani and L. major γGCS. L. mexicana γGCS was the most resistant to L-buthionine sulphoximine (BSO) inhibition, the specific irreversible inhibitor of γGCS, at the maximum concentration tested (1.5 mM) and L. mexicana promastigotes were the most resistant to the cytotoxic effects of BSO compared to L. donovani and L. major promastigotes (p < 0.001). Vaccination with the recombinant γGCS proteins from L. donovani, L. major and L. mexicana (triple vaccine) induced significant parasite-specific Th1 and Th2 immune responses based on antibody titres and cytokine production by in vitro stimulated splenocytes from immunised mice. Vaccination by inhalation or subcutaneous injection with the triple vaccine was similar mean percentage reduction in parasite burdens compared to controls ± SE, was 98% ± 0.02 in L. mexicana infected mice. In L. major infected mice was 70% ± 0.1 by subcutaneous immunisation and 65% ± 0.01 for inhalation vaccination. Treatment with the triple vaccine by inhalation failed to protect mice against L. donovani infection but was effective in hamsters, where a significant reduction in liver and bone marrow parasite burdens compared to control values (p < 0.05; mean percentage reduction compared to controls ± SE: spleen 89 ± 1; liver 83 ± 0.3; bone marrow 77 ± 1). In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that vaccination against leishmaniasis is feasible by the pulmonary route and that the triple vaccine is a potential vaccine candidate.

▼ Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatases (MKPs) belong to the dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) family and are negative regulators of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Recently, MKP-2 has been shown to play a novel role in development, the immune system and cancer. However, our knowledge in relation to its function in the central nervous system (CNS) is limited. Hence, we have utilised novel MKP-2 knockout mice to investigate the role of this phosphatase in CNS function. The effect of MKP-2 deletion on CNS was first investigated using primary hippocampal culture by examining astrocyte proliferation and neurite length using immunocytochemistry techniques performed on cultures 1-7 days in vitro (DIV). To investigate the functional consequence of MKP-2 deletion on CNS at 3, 7 and 11 DIV, intracellular calcium concentrations were determined by fluorescence imaging using Fluo-4 dye. Na+, K+ current, synaptic transmission was also investigated using patch clamp electrophysiology. To examine the effect MKP-2 deletion in whole tissue, standard western blotting techniques were utilised to examine the consequence of MKP-2 deletion on ERK activity in the hippocampus of 3 week old mice. The functional effect of MKP-2 deletion on basal synaptic transmission and paired pulse facilitation (PPF) on acute hippocampal slices, field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) were recorded from acute hippocampal slices of 3 week old mice. Astrocytes number and neurite length were reduced in 1-3 DIV in MKP-2-/- compared to MKP-2+/+. However, there is no difference in astrocyte proliferation and neurite length in 4-7 DIV. Further investigation into the reduction of neurite length, it was due to impairment in astrocyte function and not account of reduction in astrocyte proliferation. Investigating further into the functional consequences, astrocytic intracellular calcium was reduced at 7 DIV however neuronal intracellular calcium was increased at 11 DIV in MKP-2-/- primary hippocampal culture. Furthermore, Na+ and K+ current were also reduced at 7 DIV. However, spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current (sEPSC) and synapse number has been shown to increase at 7 and 11 DIV. The mechanism underlying this seems to be not related to ERK phosphorylation as no difference in ERK activation was evident when compared between MKP-2+/+ and MKP-2-/-. In further experiments in acute hippocampal slices, MKP-2 deletion leads to a reduction in ERK activity within the hippocampus. In contrast, increased ERK activity was observed in the heart and liver. Basal synaptic transmission was enhanced in MKP-2-/- mice at high stimulus intensities compared to MKP-2+/+ but PPF was unaltered at all in inter-stimulus times tested (10-500 ms). In summary, in this thesis I demonstrate that even though MKP-2 deletion reduced astrocyte growth and neurite length at 3 DIV, it doesn't affect their functional properties at early development. However, alterations of functional activity at 7 and 11 DIV and acute hippocampal culture suggest that MKP-2 deletion…

▼ A complete understanding of the most common and abundant fluid on Earth, water, has challenged the scientific community since the dawn of science. Nanoscale confinement and flow through nanotubes show counter-intuitive behaviour and produce interesting new phenomena. Experimental studies of water flow at the nanoscale report diverse results because measurement devices still struggle to provide the necessary accuracy. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations can instead provide molecular detail and a plethora of information. The main disadvantage of the method is space and time restraints on the simulated problems. To overcome this, hybrid multiscale methods that combine MD with macroscopic equations have been recently developed. This thesis investigates water flow at the nanoscale, over free surfaces and in nanotube membranes, using MD, multiscale methods and macroscopic hydrodynamic equations. Initially, water nanodroplets on static and moving surfaces of different hydrophilicity are studied here with the developed MD solver. The findings, contrary to macroscopic observations, suggest that the dynamic contact angle of water nanodroplets on graphite is independent of the capillary number. Then, a new method is firstly presented here in order to measure the average molecular orientation of water and highlight any type of anisotropy. For the first time, biaxial ordering of water molecules close to the nanotube walls is observed. It is also found that static electric fields can control the flow rate through them (e.g. a 2 V/nm electric field increases the flow rate by more than 300% for the same pressure difference). The effect of the wall material on water flow is also investigated. The accuracy of a flow enhancement prediction model originally suggested by Mattia et al. [1] is tested, giving satisfactory results for nanotube membranes of small thickness. Finally, results from hybrid multiscale simulations are presented in this thesis, showing perfect agreement with pure MD simulations. The same multiscale method is used for the first time to simulate water flow through a millimeter thick membrane with a pore diameter smaller than 2 nm. All the results presented in this thesis contribute towards the better understanding of water flow at the nanoscale. In parallel this thesis provides a number of computational tools and methods that will help in future studies as well as in the design and simulation of nanoscale fluid devices.

▼ With mortality rates of both men and women increasing considerably over the last decade from liver disease, along with the number of patients on the active liver transplant list in the UK on the increase, new diagnostic tools would be welcomed by hepatologists. This trend is possibly mirroring the increase in patient numbers with alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD). The aim of this project was to find a suitable biomarker for the early detection of liver disease. One such biomarker that was proposed was insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP-5). IGFBP-5 is known to be involved in the wound healing response in epithelial tissues, and its expression is switched on in fibrosis of the lung. IGFBP-5 induces epithelial cell senescence, an important component in the failure to resolve healing which results in a compensatory fibrotic response. IGFBP-5 has also been identified as a tumour marker gene of interhepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a type of cancer of the bile ducts in the liver. This project aims to determine whether IGFBP-5 could be used as a biomarker for detecting liver damage and fibrosis. Several models of liver disease were developed to determine if IGFBP-5 could potentially be a suitable biomarker using monolayers of primary rat hepatocytes cultured on collagen I coated tissue culture plastic dishes. Firstly, IGFBP-5 release into the culture medium from primary rat hepatocytes cultured over time was investigated along with models of oxidative stress, alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and non-alcoholic liver disease (NALFD). It was determined that the expression of IGFBP-5 over time in culture was increased, suggesting that it may have potential as a biomarker of dedifferentiation. Treatments with menadione, hydrogen peroxide, or ethanol and its primary metabolite acetaldehyde were used to unravel the story on oxidative stress. However, IGFBP-5 was undetectable in the culture medium after chronic treatment with each of the compounds listed. An in vitro model of NALFD was developed at the University of Edinburgh. The model was developed with the ability to induce either enhanced or minimal ROS formation. The in vitro study showed promising results, demonstrating that, with time in culture, in both models, an increase in IGFBP-5 expression was detected. Following on from the in vitro study, a patient study was undertaken to determine if patients with various types of liver disease had any changes in their circulating IGFBP-5 levels. After extensive work, IGFBP-5 could not be detected in human serum using a commercially available kit. This was thought to be due to the human serum interfering with the assay kits ability to detect IGFBP-5. IGFBP-5 does have potential as a biomarker of early liver disease, showing promising results from two models; de-differentiation and NAFLD. Further work into its involvement in liver injury or recovery mechanisms could determine it as useful biomaker in the hep atology clinic.

▼ The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the role of System Dynamics (SD) in the analysis of Human and Organisational Factors (HOFs) for Accident Analysis (AA) and Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA). PRA and AA are important elements of the risk management of complex technological systems. They help duty holders ensure compliance with the health and safety law. Logical and mathematical modelling plays an important role in PRA and is gaining increasing recognition within the AA community. Models help to identify hazards and adverse effects and help to explain how and why accidents occur. They also enable the risk to be expressed quantitatively. SD is a modelling approach that has been proposed to be used within PRA and AA to support analysis of HOFs. Risks do change over time as a result of changes in HOFs, and SD has significant capabilities for capturing mechanisms that drive human and organisational behaviour over time and influence risks and contribute to accidents. However, the published literature lacks explicit discussion of the role that SD could play in the analysis of HOFs for PRA and AA. The aim of this thesis is to address this gap. To achieve the thesis aim, the research work was divided into two areas for investigation: 1. Exploration of when SD could be used in the analysis of HOFs for PRA and AA. 2. Application of SD to the analysis of HOFs for PRA and AA to gain an understanding of the issues involved in using SD in these areas. These investigations led to lessons that contribute to knowledge of the use of SD within PRA and AA. Any modeller considering the use of SD within PRA or AA will benefit from the conclusions of this thesis.

▼ Visible Light Communication has the potential to provide a licence free solution to implementing high data rate wireless communication within indoor environments. Although VLC systems offer many attractive features, a number of deployment barriers remain such as the impact of sunlight irradiance on performance, line-of-sight connections, uplink issues and the 'illumination on' operational mode. The research investigates the design of VLC systems in the presence of sunlight irradiance. The foundation of the investigation is a sunlight irradiance model that generates hourly levels of natural light intensity over the year for different locations. System behaviour over different metrological conditions and extended to consider the effect of cloud coverage, is analysed for a range of the most common surfaces found in indoor environments using Matlab and Monte Carlo simulations. The evaluation of system performance considers both Line-of-Sight and Non-Line-of-Sight components (up to the fifth reflection) at a range of data rates. A comparative analysis of system performance with reported results assuming noise owing to sunlight follows Gaussian statistics is conducted. Optimum placement of LED sources is investigated. System performance characterisation is conducted for different room sizes and as a function of distance from sources of sunlight such as windows and doors. Optimum LED layout maximises the SNR, fulfils the illumination constraint as governed IEC standards and minimises the variation of the SNR across the room. The design guidelines are applicable to any room size, LED specification, wall reflectivity, location and illumination level. An approach to managing the 'illumination on' scenario is developed. Operational performance as a function of the number of energised LEDs and LED panel layout for different room sizes, surface reflectivity, different operating conditions and applications is evaluated. In summary, the research provides an in depth analysis of VLC system performance in the presence of sunlight irradiance, the results forming the foundation for future system designs and applications.

▼ In this project, research work was carried out on the tribo-corrosion behaviour of titanium carbide composite coatings produced by Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding torch melting process on steel and titanium substrates. The integrity of TiC composite coatings were checked and analysed on the substrates. The effects of change in sliding speeds and normal loads on wear behaviours were investigated for dry sliding conditions and tribo-corrosion maps were constructed with a tribo-system approach. The work was carried out in the following phases: In phase I, a fundamental study of the wear behaviour of two steels of different Cr contents and hardness were carried out. Pin-on-disk apparatus was used for testing 303stainless steel (303SS) disks and 8620 low alloy steel pins. For 303SS adhesive wear and tribo-oxidation were predominated at relatively low sliding speeds and adhesive wear was predominated at high sliding speeds and normal loads. In contrast, oxidative wear was more prevalent for the low alloy steel. Wear mapping approaches were undertaken to represent the transitions in wear modes and wear mechanisms as a function of sliding speeds and applied loads. The different wear maps generated for the pins and disks were discussed in the context of the wear mechanisms observed in the tribological contact. In phase II, dry sliding wear tests were carried out on 303SS disks (uncoated and coated with TiC composite coatings) against alumina balls as a counterface on pin-on-disk configuration. The composite coatings increased the surface hardness hence the sliding wear resistance of the 303SS substrate. Wear maps for both uncoated and coated materials were developed on the basis of tests results. These maps show that the mild wear regime for the composite coating was expanded to a higher range of sliding speeds and normal loads. For the composite coating, an additional wear mode transition i.e. from the mild to very mild regime occurred at low sliding speeds and normal loads. In phase III, experimental work was carried out on a pin-on-disk sliding wear testing rig on hardened steel (A.I.S.I. 0-1-Ground Flat Stock) disks and titanium (Ti) uncoated and coated pins with titanium carbide (TiC) composite coatings. For uncoated Ti and hardened steel tribo-couple, pins' material was transferred to disks and covered the wear tracks almost for each combination of sliding speed and normal load. High wear of Ti was found against hardened steel. Adhesive wear was prevalent for Ti pins along with abrasive, plastic deformation and delamination against hardened steel disks. While for the Ti base TiC composite coatings against hardened steel different wear behaviour observed. The composite coating increased the surface hardness hence the sliding wear resistance of the Ti substrate. Dry sliding wear behaviour of hardened steel disks was characterized by abrasive-oxidative wear at lower normal load while adhesive-oxidative wear was predominated at high normal load with iron oxide transfer to the coated pins for the range of sliding speed.

▼ The integrity of the tubesheet to shell junction zone of a fixed tubesheet reactor subject to in phase proportional pressure and temperature loading, and under reduced thickness, has been investigated by applying various failure theories and in accordance to design by analysis rules through considering various material hardening parameters. Results of an elastic FE analysis for reduced tubesheet and shell thicknesses at the junction of the shell to tubesheet indicates that the junction zone is subject to large stresses. It is shown that, junction stresses are formed as a result of combined action of channel side shell bending and tubesheet rotation at its rim. Additionally, it is discussed that linearization of a stress path at the vicinity of the junction zone categorize a large portion of calculated stresses as a peak stress and that not all of stresses classified as peak are entirely peak stress. It is further shown that, lower tubesheet thickness can be obtained by identifying the exchanger plastic load. Exchanger plastic load has been calculated through inelastic analysis and in accordance with the twice elastic slope (TES), tangent intersection (TI) and curvature of plastic work (PWC) methods. In contrast to TES and TI methods, which are graphical methods, it is shown that PWC method being a mathematical one produces more accurate plastic load. Failure mode associated with progressive plastic deformation is investigated for various material hardening models. It is shown that exchanger shakes down to cyclic plasticity after showing some initial ratcheting behaviour under multilinear kinematic model. Under this material model, magnitude of plastic strains are small and are confined within surrounding elastic media, this has been proved by existence of elastic core. It is also shown that, ASME elastic- perfectly plastic material model incorrectly predicted ratcheting behaviour. Fatigue analysis for both welded and unwelded region of tubesheet and shell junction at the groove location has been carried out, this has been done to demonstrate that under full load cycles of start-up and shutdown, and under upsets conditions the number of life cycles for this reactor is much larger than the number of operating cycles anticipated to occur during the reactor life. This has been proved by usage of stress method, local strain method and in accordance with experimentally determined equations. Additionally, it is shown that for cases subject to loads of low-cycle in nature, non-cyclic stress-strain material diagram produces higher plastic strains in comparison to the cyclic one and therefore its usage has been advised on similar applications.

▼ Previous scholarship suggests that the five weeks that Buffalo Bill's Wild West Exhibition spent in Barcelona in the winter of 1889-1890 was the low point of its various European tours if not indeed of its entire existence. The present study challenges that interpretation on the basis of evidence from a substantial body of contemporary sources in Catalan, English and Spanish, including newspaper and magazine coverage of the tour from Spain and the United States, previously unpublished correspondence and memoires by company members, together with official records. It argues for a re-evaluation of the Wild West's only visit to Spain in the context of recent studies of the life and works of William F. Cody by scholars such as Bonner, Kasson, Kroes and Rydell and Warren which have underlined the importance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West as a hugely successful and influential American cultural product and international intercultural phenomenon that flourished at a period that was crucial for American nation (re)building in the years after the Civil War, and for the development of United States' relations with Europe in the run-up to the First World War. It discusses the reasons why the exhibition did not return to Spain during its more extensive 1905-1906 European tour and concludes that the enduring influence of dominant historiographic trends found in accounts of Spanish-American international relations between the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Spanish American War of 1898 have been crucial contributing factors to the on-going misunderstanding of the time that Buffalo Bill's Wild West spent in Barcelona. A number of the rare or previously unpublished sources which are cited as evidence in the argument are included as appendices to the study.

▼ This thesis explores standards of accessible design in Scotland's new and refurbished schools with the aim of suggesting practical steps towards creating school environments which actively promote inclusion of people with impairments and provide positive learning environments for children with additional support needs. Existing research of new and refurbished Scottish school buildings is inconclusive with regards to accessible design and at the midpoint of the largest school building programme in the history of Scotland, it is crucial that accessible design processes and practices be evaluated in order to inform future building projects. The research explores the relationship between impairment, disability and the built environment and the impact that the disability movement and its associated social model of disability on contemporary architectural profession. This allows a vision for architecture to be proposed through a 'social model of disability' which is used as a basis for examining school design issues. The inclusive education discourse and current research examining standards of new school design in Scotland are used to determine the parameters for practical investigations, which use a variety of quantitative and qualitative research methods and involve a wide variety of stakeholders. Results are used to establish the extent to which 'the social model of architecture' is embedded within the school design process and give practical recommendations as to how this can be better achieved, including a proposed overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work 2013. This study highlights the need for a paradigm shift in the architectural design ethos and contributes towards the creation of an inclusive, inspirational and sustainable learning environment for current and future generations.
